The group would leave the castle ward without much fanfare, though people still stared and gawked at them. You could make whispers wondering what your group has been arrested for or why the market district employs such "shady characters", likely referring to you and your group. But once you do leave the castle ward and were back on main street, it seems like the rest of the citizenry didn't really seem too concerned about your group. They were just going about their business as they were before. Once back at the Barracks, you could see that Atisha was still here along with Yorik and Kor, who were watching over the prisoners. Same as before, most of them were the knights and the one woman who was working in cahoots with Erandel. Shor returned to his desk and addressed the party.

"So, a lot has happened today. I imagine that since you were at the Windmill, either Aisha or Yorik gave you permission to get involved, despite my orders otherwise. But considering the circumstances, that's likely for the better. Still I need time to gather up the information we've collected, so for now, I don't have anything to lecture you for. I will ask that you all come tomorrow once I finish getting an idea of what just happened both below and topside. And obviously, keep your nose clean while you're here." Tapping his fingers against the table, Shor sighed and looked tired. He reached underneath his breastplate to take out a flask and take a quick swig. "I know you're all a good lot. My cousin Ferrick is too careful to befriend ruffians and the like who can't keep it clean. But the way things work here is a bit different from where you might've come from, or how you think things ought to work, and not knowing our laws don't protect you if you break them by accident. I say this because I know you all have the best intentions, even though those aren't things you're [i]suppose[/i] to do in this city." Shor took another swig and sighed as Aisha brought some paperwork. He looked like a police chief who has to write up something about the cowboy cop's collateral damage report.

"Well, guess I lied about the lecture. But really that's all I got to say right now. Any questions?"
